Congressman Keith Self Reintroduces Bill to Rename Highway in Honor of U.S. Congressman and POW Sam Johnson

Congressman Keith Self has reintroduced legislation to rename a portion of U.S. Highway 75 as the “U.S. Congressman and Prisoner of War Sam Johnson Memorial Highway.”

“Sam Johnson was a hero long before he ever served in Congress,” Congressman Self said. “From surviving nearly seven years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam to serving three decades in the House of Representatives, Sam Johnson’s life exemplified courage, sacrifice, and service.”

The bill designates the portion of U.S. Highway 75 between the President George Bush Turnpike and U.S. Highway 380 for renaming, and directs that all federal maps, signs, and official references be updated to reflect the new title. 

In renaming this stretch of highway, we honor not only Sam Johnson’s name, but the values he represented–duty, resilience, and a devotion to country.”
